Underwater Cave Dwellings | New Hotel Being Built In A Chinese Quarry

There is no limit to where people would build. Any space that is considered livable is a target for real estate and new construction projects. An abandoned water-filled quarry in Shanghai is the latest location for construction.

This area is the site for a new, 19-story hotel facility that will be buried in a 100 meter tall rock structure. The hotel will have part of the structure underwater, a restaurant underwater, and some of it built into the cave. The rest will be built in front of and around the rock structure. It is a cool idea and makes use of the space wisely. It also creates a very interesting scenery. The hotel will hold 400 rooms and conference halls, a banquet hall, a swimming pool, and a few restaurants. Aside from the hotel, there will be an extreme sports facility that will offer things like bungee jumping and rock climbing. Construction is gong on right now and will continue through 2015 when the facility is set to open.
